Junior Landcare has created a number of educational resources to encourage young people to participate in Landcare activities and build a closer connection with the land. These resources support the Australian Curriculum.

These resources were produced and designed to support the Australian Curriculum, which sets consistent national standards to improve learning outcomes. Sustainability is now one of the three cross curriculum priorities set by the Australian Curriculum, to help develop the knowledge, skills, values and world views needed to help people contribute to a more sustainable environment. Sustainability education is futures-oriented, focusing on creating a more ecologically and socially just world through informed action, and actions that support sustainable patterns of living require consideration of environmental, social, cultural and economic systems and their interdependence.
